Chapter 1057 Lobbyist

After a while, the servant opened the door again, bowed and said, "Dr. An, please come in."

Qiao Muchai and Jiang Xinyu followed the servant into the Lotus Apartment.

The Lotus Apartment is a house of the royal family and is usually used to receive senior officials. This time it was provided to An Linyue for free, which shows how much attention is paid to him.

An Linyue is in his forties, with a trimmed mustache, piercing eyes, a gray vest and a white shirt with a bow tie, and a cigar between his fingers.

He had been waiting in the living room early, and when he saw Jiang Xinyu and Qiao Mu came in, he said kindly: "Hello, Engineer Jiang."

Jiang Xinyu walked a few steps, bowed and said, "Dr. An, we didn't call you in advance. It's a bit presumptuous to come here. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, I'm just feeling bored. I really hope you can come to my house as a guest." An Linyue paused for a moment, looked at Qiao Mucai who was calm and composed, and said politely: "Excuse me, who is this...

…”

Jiang Xinyu said from the side: "This is my friend. He is the editor of the Economic Observer. He respects Dr. An very much. He specially came to visit you this time."

Qiao Muchai stretched out his hand: "Hello, Dr. An, my surname is Qiao, Qiao Muchai."

"Welcome, welcome. I like to interact with people from all walks of life, so that I can have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the country. Editor Qiao, Engineer Jiang, please take a seat." An Linyue looked very enthusiastic, and turned around to tell the servant:

"Xu Ma, make tea."

After sitting down, An Linyue said to Jiang Xinyu: "After we met last time, I specifically inquired about it. Your joint kerosene factory is quite powerful. It even issues stocks. It seems to be a very powerful factory."

Jiang Xinyu smiled bitterly and said: "Nowadays, everyone is selling stocks, and the kerosene factory is also getting worse."

"Oil is a war material, so sales are pretty good, right?"

"There is no problem with sales. All products are sold to the military, but...as you know, oil supply is tight, and the production of kerosene plants is always in a semi-stop state."

An Linyue sighed: "Oh, yes, wars are happening everywhere, exacerbating the contradiction between oil supply and demand, not only in our country, but also in the whole world..."

The servant brought the tea, placed it gently on the coffee table, then bowed and retreated.

"Boy, please have some tea."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

An Linyue turned to Qiao Mucai and said: "Editor Qiao, you work at the Economic Observer and you must be very knowledgeable about the economy. I would like to hear your views on the Chinese economy."

Since he is the editor of the Economic Observer, Qiao Mucai has been prepared for this kind of problem, saying: "At present, there is indeed a bit of chaos in the financial order. However, fortunately, the national government has corrected the problem in time, such as this.

I think this currency reform will definitely achieve immediate results!"

An Linyue pondered and said: "Editor Qiao, I would like to ask a question, why is there chaos in the financial order?"

Qiao Mu thought for a moment, then made a draft in his stomach, and said: "Well... I think the main reason is that every time the Communist army occupies an area, they will use all means to plunder the people's wealth, causing the hungry people in the bandit areas to be displaced. In the end,

They were forced into Kuomintang-controlled areas, which had a huge impact on the financial order."

An Linyue shook his head slightly: "Mr. Qiao, with all due respect, a newspaper should have a minimum of neutrality. You just used the term "bandit area" to describe the liberated area. I think it is a little inappropriate."

Qiao Mucai said: "Oh, I made a mistake, but there is no doubt that the people hate the Communist Party deeply. If Dr. An has time, he might as well go to the Relief Administration and see that all the hungry people come from the so-called liberated areas.

"

An Linyue smiled slightly: "We will discuss the issue of hungry people later. Let me first talk about the government's currency reform. Economic laws show that paper money itself has no value. It is just a currency symbol for the means of circulation, used to replace the functions of gold and silver currency.

, when the amount of paper currency issued is equivalent to the amount of gold and silver currency required in commodity circulation, paper currency has the same purchasing power as gold and silver currency. On the contrary, when the amount of paper currency issued exceeds the amount of gold and silver currency required in commodity circulation,

The amount of gold and silver currency represented by the face value of banknotes will decrease, and banknotes will continue to depreciate, causing prices to rise and eventually causing inflation."

Qiao Mucai seemed to understand, and said hesitantly: "Dr. An, do you think the currency reform will not succeed?"

"First of all, you have to understand why the government wants to carry out currency reform?"

"Of course it is to rectify the financial order..."

"This is just one of them. The most important and direct reason is that the government's military expenditure is huge. They need more money to buy guns, ammunition, aircraft and cannons! Of course, assuming there is an upper limit on the issuance of gold yuan bonds, from an economic point of view

, will have a positive impact on inflation, the question is, will there be an upper limit?"

An Linyue took a sip from the tea bowl and continued: "Back to the previous topic, where did the hungry people come from? Editor Qiao said it was a liberated area, but I don't think so."

Jiang Xinyu said: "Dr. An, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Relief Department to check..."

"What I mean is that we cannot determine where the hungry people come from in a narrow sense. It is not a certain area, but a war! The hungry people come from endless wars! You two sit down for a while and excuse me for a while." An Linyue stood up and stepped forward.

to the study room.

Jiang Xinyu said in a low voice: "Webmaster, don't argue with him. He studied economics. How can we defeat him? Let's get down to business."

Qiao Mucai nodded slightly.

As soon as the door rang, An Linyue came out of the study and said, "Sorry, I just asked you to wait."

Jiang Xinyu said: "It doesn't matter... Dr. An, I heard that the government has repeatedly advised you to go for Liwan. Why don't you agree to such a good opportunity?"

An Linyue's eyes flashed: "Engineer Jiang, do you think it is a good opportunity to lift the bend?"

Jiang Xinyu said: "Of course, this shows that the government cares about you. Maybe in another year and a half, the Communist army will come over. It is not a wise move to stay in Yanjin."

"A wise move... Why do I feel that these two are lobbyists for the government?" An Linyue looked suspicious.

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly said: "You have misunderstood. I sincerely think about you and hope you will not be deceived by the Communist Party..."

"Ring ring ring!"

The phone rang on the table.

An Linyue picked up the phone and listened for a while, and immediately said in fluent English: "Hello, Mr. Counselor, yes, I am An Linyue... Why? Do you mean that I have to lift the bend? What is this?

?Illegal detention?”

…………

After coming out of Lianhua Apartment, Jiang Xinyu sighed and said, "This guy is really stubborn. Just after I persuaded him a few words, he decided that I was a lobbyist for the government and kicked us out directly!"

Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we will continue to replace him tomorrow until he agrees!"
